Description
The Deacon 700ml is a smoky blended Scotch whisky that brings together peated single malts from Islay with lightly smoky single malts from Speyside. The Islay malts give it a tangy peat note, while the Speyside malts add a softer, bonfire-style smoke and malty sweetness.

Sip it neat or with a few drops of water to open up the orange and biscuit notes, or pour it over ice. It also makes a good smoky highball with soda water or ginger ale, and pairs well with smoked meats, barbecue or a sharp cheddar.
- Blended Scotch whisky from Scotland
- Peated Islay malts with lightly smoky Speyside malts
- Bottle shape inspired by copper pot stills
The name is an old Scots term for a master of their craft, and the rounded bottle pays tribute to the copper pot stills used to make malt whisky. The brand was created by Sovereign Brands, its first whisky.
Expect charred orange, malty biscuits and woodsmoke on the nose. The palate brings juicy orange, delicate spice and tangy peat, leading to a long, gently sweet finish with lingering smoke.
A good choice for anyone curious about peated whisky who wants a balanced, approachable blend.
